Here is the Coast Guard’s current rolling schedule, broken up by Sectors or Captain of the Port zones, for the phasing in of enforcement of the TWIC requirements. If you need unescorted access at port facilities or aboard vessels to do your job then you need to have an activated TWIC by these dates. In addition, all mariners should by now have received this deadline notice via snail mail from the C.G. regarding the relationship between the TWIC and the various seaman’s papers (licenses, certificates, STCW letters, etc.) issued by them. These two items are related but separate, so don’t confuse them or the dates. The specific dates for the March – April period will be announced in the Federal Register at least 90 days in advance.
